Punch the monkey

-



Punch is his name and events that have captured the attention of animal lovers worldwide, Punch — the young macaque at a zoo in Japan famous for his inseparable bond with a stuffed orangutan toy — has reached a major milestone in his journey toward social integration.

On Thursday, visitors and staff at the Ichikawa Zoological and Botanical Garden witnessed a breakthrough: Punch was seen cuddling with and hitching a ride on the back of a fellow macaque.

Punch’s story began with hardship. He was abandoned by his mother shortly after his birth in July 2025 — and to ensure his survival, zookeepers stepped in to hand-rear the primate. not so nice videos are around that I will not show; in fact, I won't look at myself. I have always loved monkeys. I can stand at a zoo and watch the primates for hours.

This toy was made by Ikea and sold out instantly. I bought one from Wild Republic. I posted him on Facebook asking for help with his name.

If you google Punch, you will get anything you might want to know.

 We are very settled in Monroe and are considering selling Lincoln and visiting a few times a year. We talk to the little ones almost every Sunday. They are growing up. 2nd grade, 1st grade a nd  preschool.  I'm doing fine on the exemestane.  Scans have  been clear. We have found a few docs but still have a couple more to find. We are heading back to CA in a month for four months.  Our flight to Canada was easy. We are trying to be less judgmental so I won't talk about a couple of annoying things.  I am trying very hard to do this blog in as non-OCD as possible. I wrote for epinions for years and don't want to be detailed like I was. "Just the facts, ma'am." We rented a car so did what we usually do. We borrowed a couple of itineraries from the web and followed those. One thing we would do differently is arrive in Calgary and leave in Edmonton though this is not a direct flight.  We would have toured Calgary for two days instead of leaving it to t...

Jo has Sjogren's Syndrome . Dry eyes and dry mouth can be caused by a multitude of reasons such as an autoimmune disease such as Sjogren's Syndrome, aging , diabetes , smoking or medications. Biotene has been the hallmark drug for dry mouth but other products, such as Oasis have come on the market. Xerostomia or dry mouth can cause difficulty in speaking and eating. It also leads to bad breath and dental decay. It is crucial that you see your dentist much more regularly than you may have been going if you have dry mouth. In addition, your home care must be superb. It's hard sometimes to get into the rhythm of flossing, brushing, using a rubber tip, and using a Waterpik but in the end your mouth will thank you. Some people find oral sprays as you see in the Biotene Moisturizing Mouth Spray picture and Biotene gel, which you rub on your tongue and gums. A good recipe book is called I-Can't-Chew Cookbook by J. Randy Wilson. Other symptoms you may have is a...

These are so cute and even if you don't celebrate Christmas like we don't, these would be fun to give out to other campers!! Two candy canes back to back tied with yarn or material-covered wire, which I can get at Joanne's or Michael's. I'm taking my glue gun with me and voila - what a nice way to say "Hi, happy holidays.
